SAMARKAND, Uzbekistan (Reuters) -President Vladimir Putin on Friday denied Russia had anything to do with Europe’s energy crisis, saying that if the European Union wanted more gas it should lift sanctions preventing the opening of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

Speaking to reporters after the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Uzbekistan, Putin blamed what he called “the green agenda” for the energy crisis, and insisted that Russia would fulfil its energy obligations.

“The bottom line is, if you have an urge, if it’s so hard for you, just lift the sanctions on Nord Stream 2, which is 55 billion cubic metres of gas per year, just push the button and everything will get going,” Putin said.

“Putin tells Europe: if you want gas then open Nord Stream 2”

But doing so would MELT all the glaciers, at least according to the Globalists (Ukraine Cheerleaders) here.

EU self-sanctioned itself.

To their detriment, now the world gets to literally watch the slow motion implosion of the EU.

I would wager their are a number of deep state Neocons (both on the Right and the Left) chuckling in backrooms and basements of various US government agencies.....

It’s kind of like our “energy crisis”. All that needs to be done is to flip those executive order switches back to on and it’s off on the road to American world energy dominance again. It really is that simple.

Only western propagandists believe anything the green movement says.

Except the Keystone Pipeline. Not only did Biden stop it, the Democrsts dismantled it so it could never be finished by a later President.

Putin is a liar unlike the US leadership Biden and Blinken. Let’s have nuclear war to defend the way of global democracy lead by the WEF and show Putin exactly what we think of him. And thank god for self-sacrificing heroes like Zelensky? We don’t deserve leaders like he is.

Bingo.

Their own people/citizens don’t matter.
They are elitists who think they know best.
Much in the same camp as King Charles and Klaus Schwab.

The problem is that when things get bad enough, controlling the populace becomes super problematic and heads will invariably start to get removed.
